Abstract
The transposition of teeth is an infrequent dental abnormality characterized by the exchange of position between two adjacent teeth. This report presents a unique case of transposition involving the maxillary right canine and lateral incisor in a 20-year-old female patient. Clinical assessment and radiographic evaluation revealed the unconventional positioning of the affected teeth. Treatment planning necessitated collaborative efforts between orthodontic specialists to achieve optimal esthetic and functional outcomes. The patient underwent a comprehensive treatment regimen, including orthodontic alignment by distal drifting of the canine and mesial shifting of the lateral incisor. Subsequent long-term follow-ups confirmed stable occlusion and satisfactory esthetics in a time period of 18 months. This case underscores the significance of precise diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach in managing intricate dental anomalies such as tooth transposition.
